On Saturday, August 27, I'll be leaving Astoria, Oregon, and riding to San Luis Obispo, California along the coast road then back along the same route, arriving back in Portland, Oregon on Monday September 5 (Labor Day). I'll be camping in state parks along the way. Included will be camping in Redwoods National Park (twice!), Big Sur, Bodega Bay, and other sweet spots.

Anyone interested in joining in for part of it, to include camping or just day-riding a section, is welcome.

I'll post the actual itinerary (which is set, with camping reservations made) later, and repost every few weeks leading up to the trip.

I am really interested! Once I see the actual itinery and find out what the camping costs are going to be...I think that would be awesome. And of Course i gotta get off work, and yada yada, but I would love to go for at least part if i can't do all of it.

I'll be living near bodega bay (in petaluma) during those dates. I'm up for meeting you on part of the trip. I'm assuming you're taking hwy 1? That's where I would go. Once the itinerary's up I'll see where I can meet ya. I have a friend down there on a ninja250 who I think doesn't post here yet, i'll get her to come too.

I would absolutely love to come. Unfortunately, I live on the wrong coast.
